The tends at night are around 80 and during the day it's around 95 with little humidity. I do spray the enclosure with water periodically. He has 2 basking lamps and 2 UV lamps. Substrate is cypress. Age is about 5 years old. I posted a picture of the enclosure.
Hello,
I had my Russian tortoise for a little over a year and he has been very active and ate / pooped good. For the past month or so he has not been eating or pooping that much at all. Today I noticed he seems very sluggish. He has fresh water, eats greens and dry food, I soak him once a week...
**UPDATE 2**
As of 7pm tonight he seems to be back to his normal self. He's been eating, pooping, and very playful. Thank you to everyone who replied and helped me with this ordeal. The way he looked Friday night and Saturday morning I honestly thought he was a goner. But he pulled through and...

I've been looking hard to try to find this plant without much luck. It in Youngsville Louisiana and it's a bush. With lots of pink flowers on it. Right now most of the buds are closed. I opened one up to take a photo.
Hello,
I might have really messed up with my Russian Tortoise. When I was working on my yard yesterday I saw some beautiful purple flowers growing and thought Koopa would love these so I fed him one folower and he seemed to love it. An hour later I went to look at him and he was laying very...
